The Hellfire Club
The Hellfire Club
The Hellfire Club mentioned in Marvel Comics is in fact based on a real establishment founded in the 18th Century. The Club is infamous across England and Ireland (it's foundation) for it's mark on society as a gentleman's club that promoted such debauchery as prostitution, alcohol abuse, drug use, drug peddling and of course mixed these with a political agenda. It became an elite force in the socio-political world as the members were persons of high class society. Business arrangements circled around the club and eventually it became essential for an entrepreneur to gain access if he sought the most efficient means of networking. Hedonism flourishes on Hellfire ground. Though the higher ranking members such as Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost have come in conflict with X-Men, the Hellfire itself has no one true enemy. The establishment brings in as much Pros as it does Cons which is why government tends to turn a blind eye. Hellfire is neutral ground.
